Course Description

Digital Technologies in Dentistry Today

Today, innovative digital technology is at the forefront for providing new procedures
that improve efficiency, quality of care, and patient satisfaction in all facets of
dentistry. This course will familiarize participants with the most current of these
technologies. Information presented will be functional, practical, and will enhance
your practice.

Dr. Jeffrey Brooks

Digital dentistry is presently one of the most exciting areas in the field of dental
science. 3D Volumetric Imaging in the dental practice is rapidly changing the approach
to implant planning and placement. This technology provides substantial improvements
in diagnosis and understanding of the implant recipient site prior to implant placement.
This technology has also allowed for the evolution of advanced guided surgical implant
placement. Guided implantology is gaining interest and acceptance at an exponential
rate among all disciplines of dentistry. This presentation will review advance techniques
for evaluating the potential implant site using volumetric CBCT imaging with an emphasis
on utilizing various surgical guide systems to enhance implant placement.

Day 2: "New Technologies for Diagnosing and Treating Maxillofacial Trauma and Pathology"

Dr. Larry Weeda

As in other medical and dental specialties, oral and maxillofacial surgery is experiencing
an ever evolving landscape of digital technological advances that provide improved
diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical treatment. This presentation will provide
insight into the technologies presently available for treating maxillofacial pathology
and trauma.

Day 3: "Virtual Planning for Orthognathic Surgery"

Dr. James Christian

Using current computer technology, an orthognathic surgical case can now be planned
digitally. There are several advantages to employing these virtual techniques:

Creating intermediate and final splints using CAD/CAM technology, eliminating the
need for traditional model surgery

Easily analyzing discrepancies in anatomy three-dimensionally

Recognizing how occlusal movements affect surrounding bony anatomy

Simulating bony and soft tissue changes for patient education

Allowing for alternative surgical approaches if necessary

Reducing planning time for the surgeon

Cases will be presented to demonstrate how this technology can be utilized to reflect
the above advantages.

Day 4: "Introduction to CAD/CAM Dentistry" (Lecture)

Dr. James Simon

Day 5: "Introduction to CAD/CAM Dentistry" (Hands-on)

Dr. James Simon

Two, half-day courses covering the use of CAD/CAM technology for the construction
of all-ceramic restorations for both the anterior and posterior. Topics to be covered
will be preparation principles for an all-ceramic milled restoration, picture taking,
computer design principles for construction of the restoration, material selection
for the restoration, milling the restoration, and the eventual bonding of the restoration.
These principles hold true whether the restoration is fabricated in the office or
by the laboratory. Participants will also have the opportunity to design an all-ceramic
restoration during the course.
